Did you know that Minnesota has its own mountain range? The Sawtooth Mountains are a low range of jagged, sawlike peaks in northern Minnesota. They’re not the Rockies – or even the Appalachians – but they have a beauty all their own. It’s easy to explore the mountains along the many hikes that crisscross over them. In the past, we’ve explored the Oberg Mountain Loop, a spectacular trail that offers views of a wonderful Minnesota lake. Today, we want to introduce a nearby trail. The LeVeaux Mountain Trail is a 3-mile loop in the Sawtooth Mountains that leads to a forested peak with an amazing view. Take a look:

LeVeaux Mountain Trail is a 3.3-mile trek in Minnesota's Sawtooth Mountains. The trailhead is right next to the Oberg Mountain Loop trailhead, so you can easily do an entire day of hiking! Click here for more information about getting to the trailhead.
